Operations Vehicle

The following picture shows the Operations vehicle. It houses two air traffic control positions.

Operations Vehicle Interior

ATNAVICS uses Raytheon's AutoTrac automation software. The controller display can be up to 3,200 feet away from the radar using the fiber-optics cable shown on the left side of the following picture. The right side shows the interior of the operations vehicle with the two operator positions.

ATNAVICS provides a rapid air traffic control response for both tactical operations and civil disasters.
